Oasis Academy Enfield hailed for high-quality education

Oasis Academy Enfield returned from the Easter holidays with pride after receiving a ‘Good’ rating across all areas by Ofsted, following inspections held on the 4^th - 5^th February and 19^th March 2025.

The academy has been recognised for significant and rapid strides made to improve a good quality of education to students over the past year. Alongside improvements in quality of education, leadership, behaviour, and personal development were also noted. Ofsted inspectors praised the school’s ambitious curriculum, strong teaching and inclusive ethos.

The Ofsted report highlights a culture of high expectations, underpinned by the academy’s values – Lead, Excel, Aspire, be Resilient and Nurture (LEAN) - which are clearly reflected in students’ ‘positive and respectful behaviour.’ Inspectors noted that pupils ‘feel safe,’ benefit from ‘trusted adults,’ and ‘engage positively with both staff and learning,’ contributing to a calm, focused environment.

The academy's commitment to personal development was a particular strength, with students enjoying a range of enrichment activities, from dance club and choir to computer programming. Pupils also spoke positively about careers guidance and cultural events, including ‘Culture Day’, which celebrates the academy's diverse community.

Staff were commended for obtaining a strong subject knowledge and for using effective questioning to support learning. Ofsted recognised the academy's continued focus on professional development and well-being, as well as its determination to raise outcomes for all students, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and who speak English as an additional language (EAL).

Oasis Academy Enfield’s sixth form also received strong praise. Students are said to enjoy learning, recommend the sixth form to others, and are well prepared for their next steps through a curriculum designed around their needs and aspirations.

Emma Robinson, Principal of Oasis Academy Enfield, said: “I’m incredibly proud of what our staff and students have achieved together. This report recognises the dedication of our teachers, the support of families, the positive culture we've nurtured, as well as the ambition we have for every child, and most importantly, the fantastic attitude of our students!"

“Our focus on high expectations and inclusive education is clearly making a difference, leaving us in a prime position to develop into one of the top academies in the country.”

The report also acknowledged the impact of the academy’s improvement work over the past year, particularly in strengthening the curriculum and enhancing the quality of learning, stating: “Pupils develop a sound understanding of the content they have been taught and are able to confidently tackle complex tasks with ease,” inspectors noted.

With safeguarding measures deemed effective and attendance improving, Oasis Academy Enfield shares their pride in continuing to grow as a safe, supportive and aspirational learning environment for all young people.
